The march of progress

Throughout the later middle ages, the culture of pet girl keeping in its many forms underwent minor refinements, as pet heraldry and increasingly complex pony girl races continued to be focal points of prestige.

Meanwhile, pet girls spread further to the east. Byzantium, long since in decline, was a bastion of the tradition in the east. While the practice was limited to only the palace itself and had very little impact on the ordinary citizen, the eastern empire functioned as an ambassador to the east.

Through trade, diplomacy and intermarriage, the **** pets harems of Byzantium were popularized among the Rus in the north, the Ottomans of the east and many of the north-african costal kingdoms. Unlike western Europe, where it was the nobility themselves who became pet wives and pony girls, the east was dominated by slaves that were trained as pet girls for leisure.

In the Rus, this trend led to increasing slaving expeditions to the south. Pet girls where seen as exotic imports and their own women were not used as such. The Ottomans on the other hand, quickly adopted the Byzantine practice into their own harems. Influences from Christianity offered easy justifications for pet keeping and made the adoption easy.

The result was a mixture of the Western European pet wives and the byzantine **** pets, in that the traditional role of concubines was simply changed into that of pets.
